Most of your posting history on "your" topic. This one had me in stitches a couple of weeks back. I nearly fell of my chair when I read the second of these.

Actually Susan, I do not think this thread belongs in BS. It is an attempt to raise a serious suggestion concerning the running of the daily outlook of the forum.
I agree entirly but unless there is any chance of it being returned to the music section - where we may judge this thread belongs appears to be thought to be of little importance.
But had it remained there - it may have been possible to obtain the views of posters who are not usually able to contribute to issues that affect them equally, in such threads as these, as they would not see them in the BS section, but whose contributions in them may have been useful to the discussion. Perhaps that was one reason why it was so quickly relegated to the BS?
I am all in favour of posters having the choice but perhaps it would be better if the default setting was one mixed forum? That was after all the starting point of our forum. ...

I prefer freedom if choice to the settings being inflicted on members one way or other.
One reason for a change back to one forum would be to prevent the choice being inflicted upon us anonymously, about what thread is judged to be BS and moved.
The use of a prefix is (supposed to) be optional after all. The only reason how a thread is prefixed, now seems to matter so much (to those pedantic ones these things always matter to) is because there are now two sections for them to be placed.
